EEPOKT OP THE GOVEENMENT BOTANIST.

Botanic Gardens, Melbourne,
25th June, 1855.

Sib,

I do myself the honor of transmitting for communication to His
Excellency the Governor my Third General Report.

Having received, in October, 1854, His Excellency’s sanction for a
more extensive phytologic exploration of the Australian Alps, I left for Gipps’
Land on the 1st of November, 1854.

Whilst travelling along the hanks of the La Trohe River and the
Avon, I had ample opportunities for convincing myself that an extensive
tract of that country, on account of the fertility of its soil, the mildness
of its climate, and the facility of clearing land there for agiiculture, is
undoubtedly destined to become, when the internal communication there has
been more facilitated, the abode of a large and prosperous population.

Proceeding along the ranges of the Avon, which are generally barren,
scrubby, and in many places densely timbered, I ascended Mount Wellington,
the most southern summit of the Australian Alps, on the( ^2n(^ Novembcr,
1854, from whence I added some highly interesting plants to our botanical
collections. At the elevation of about 4000 feet above the sea level, or at a
subalpine altitude, a striking change is perceptible in the vegetation, since the
valleys and plateaus, stretching from Mount AVellington to the north, and
more or less westerly and easterly, are well saturated with moisture, both
fr'om the attraction of clouds, and from the dissolving snow, which, lying
there for many months in the year, has given to these locahties the appellation
of “ The Snowy Plains.”

The route thus followed is the most practicable for penetrating from
this part of Gipps’ Land into the central mountains of the Alps, although an
easier access yet may be found to them from Omeo, by following the generally
grassy ranges to the ‘westward from a few miles above the jimction of the
Livingstone River with the Mitta Mitta.

Proceeding on a second journey along the Darga, which flows through
some luxuriantly grassed recesses of the mountains, I advanced through a
difficult country to the Bogong Range, the culminating point of the westerly
systema of the Snowy Mountains ; a dense scrub, and the total absence of
water on the crest of the Wentworth Ranges, rendering the progress tedious,
until I reached the Dividing Range towards the sources of the Cabongra,
where again the feature of the country changes on the northern slopes of the
mountains, or along the sources of the Murray tributaries. Here open valleys
give access to the central ranges in almost every direction, and a profusion of

Botant. — b .

grass and water attracts cattle during the summer months far into these
mountains. The low scrubby underwood disappears with stringy bark, and
box, eucalj^ti, and the dwarf forests of mountain gum trees, which rejilace
them, may either he avoided or offer hut little obstruction to the progress
of a traveller.

According to a special report, which I had the honor of transmitting
to the Government, dated Omeo, 16th December, 1854, I succeeded in
reacliing not only two of the main sources of the Mitta Mitta, but also the
two most elevated heights of the Bogong Range ; these perhaps not even
previously trodden by the aborigines, since game and brushwood cease far
below the summits. The two higliest mountains, which I had the honor hv
His Excellency’s sanction, to distinguish as Mount Hotharn and Mount La
Trohe, are along the terminal ravines covered with eternal snow. It will be
unnecessary to repeat here the respective bearings which I took from these
all-commanding heights, since they are detailed in my special report ; but it
remains for me to confirm my computation wdth regard to their altitude. My
calculations, based on the boiling water jioint, proved, after my return, that
the summits of the Bogong Range are unsurpassed by any other known of
this continent, approaching to the altitude of 7000 feet^ahove the level of the
ocean. A depressed Glacier Flora, imitating in some degree the botanical
features of the European and other Alps, covers scantily the icy tops.

The bearings from the summit of Mount Tambo, instituted on the
17th December, 1854, gave the position of Mount Flotham due W. of Mount
La Trohe, W. 4° S.

From Omeo I resumed my journey into the north-easterly systema of
our Alps, through a delightful suhalpine countiy, opening into wide valleys
at the mam sources of the Snowy River, many of these valleys well adapted
and partially used for summer pastures.

I ascended the most northern alpine hill of the Munyang Mountains
on the 1st of Januaiy, 1855, and traversed iu the weeks subsequent most of
the principal elevations of these prodigious mountains, adding also there
again not inconsiderably to our herbarium. Here on very many places the
waters of the Murray and the Snowy River are rising in the closest proximity.

Descending, in the latter part of January, along the Snowy River to
the lower country, I advanced as fiir easterly through the coast tract as the
boggy nature of the country permitted, and I devoted my attention here ao-ain
to the Flora of the Palm Tree Country, to improve my knowledge of the
Intel esting plants discovered here previously iu a more advanced season.

But the full botanical investigation of the south-tastern portion of this
0 ony, which, under tlie mildest climate, abounds in subtropical plants, can
o y e accomplished from the New South Wales frontier.

Returning from the Snowy River, I deemed it more promising to
piosecute my operations on the coast, along which I proceeded to Lake Kino-,
eie 0 solved, amongst other rare and unknown plants, some fine trees of
cronjc iia, a genus known from Eastern Australia and New Caledonia

renim va 1 e or its splendid wood and tlie aromatic property bv which the
species are pervaded. i. i j .

A most severe illness frustrated my intention of ascending Mount
ow ow, a w , locky, isolated summit at the south-western slope of the

5

Australian Alps, hitherto unexplored, and perhaps the only locality from
which additions may he expected of importance to our knowledge of the
Alpine Flora.

Reflecting on the general results of this journey, I trust to he justified
in considering them not without some importance, at least for the geography
of plants. The expedition was planned more with a view of ascertaining the
alliance between the vegetation of the Alps of Australia and plants of other
countries, than with anticipations of largely enriching thereby the number of
plants already under notice. Still, by referring to the enumeration annexed
to this document, and to my former annual reports, it will be observed, that
the total amount of either truly alpine, or at least subalpine plants of this
country, exceeds 100 species, and it is pleasant to perceive that half of these
are endemic, or not yet elsewhere discovered ; whilst by fixr tlie greater part
of the other half comprises such as inhabit Tasmania, or are likewise natives
of Xew Zealand. A much smaller proportion is identical with plants found
exclusively in New Zealand, or Lord Auckland’s Group, or Campbell’s Island.
The genus Drapetes, for a long time only known in Fuegia, is now ascertained
to exist, with other plants from the cold zone of South America, in the
Australian Alps, New Zealand, Tasmania, and Borneo, and many other
instances might be adduced to show tlie typical resemblance of many plants
from the Alps of Australia with those of distant countries. /^As a most
surprising fact in this regard, I beg to allude to the sudden rcappeai'ance
of several European plants in the heart of the Australian Alps, plants which
may be searched for in vain in the intervening country, viz. ; — Turiitis glabra,
Sagina procumbens, Alchemilla vulgaris, Veronica serpillifolia, Carex Pyre-
naica, Carex echinata, Carex canesceus, Carex Buxbaumii, and Botrychium
Lunaria^ I may also advert to ‘the occun-ence of Lysimachia vulgaris in
tbe Gipps’ Land morasses as another singular instance of the enigmatic
laws wliich rule the distribution of plants, and I cannot suppress my opinion
that such facts tend to annihilate all theories in favor of migration of species
from supposed centres of creation.

The Index which I have annexed comprises also a large number of
seaweeds, discovered by Professor Harvey, and adds thus 96 genera and 327
species to my previous enumerations, advancing the number of the former to
776, a sum which, as excluding all yet introduced plants, all fungi, and many
undetermined genera of the lower orders, must be considered eminently large.
The number of species ascertained to occur in Victoria exceeds, under the
exclusions alluded to, already 2000. Excluding all algm, 15 genera have
been added to the Flora of this continent, two of them new to science —
Caltha, llowittia, Colobanthus, Dichopetalum, Pozoa, Diplaspis, Seseli,
Diodia, Nertera, Decaspora, Pajderota, Drapetes, Herpolirion, Astelia, and
Andiaea.

Seeds of native plants were collected, whenever obtainable, and have
been distributed (in more than 1000 lots) with a view of increasing by
interchange the supply for our own establishment to the best advantage. It
is my pleasing duty to acknovvdedge here the valuable contributions for our
gardens, received in return for my former collections, amongst which contribu-
tions those of Sir William Hooker, from the Royal Gardens at Kew, are
prominent.

6

Engagements in the botanical perlustration of tropical Australia, for
which His Excellency has been pleased to sanction my absence for the next
and the current year, render it impossible to devote any time for the most
desirable researches into the utility of so many of our native plants ; but I have
succeeded in finishing my systematic labors on the Flora of Victoria, so far as
the material for it was accumulated, and an outline of the more interesting
new plants has been furmshed for the Journals of the Philosophical Society
and the Victorian Institute. A more extensive information on our native
plants was forwai'ded to Sir William Hooker, and I trust that, on account of
the great alliance of the Victorian and Tasmanian plants, these manuscripts
will prove to be useful in the elaboration of the Flora of Van Diemen’s Land,
which is now to be published, under the auspices of the Imperial Government,
by Dr. J. Hooker.

A splendid collection of Algse, procured on our shores by Professor
Harvey, fonns a valuable addition to our herbarium. The whole of the col-
lections may at all times be consulted in the Botanic Garden ; and I hope
sincerely that the labor which I have bestowed on these collections will not
be in undue proportion to the information which they are intended to convey.

A regular transmission of botanical specimens to Kew has also been
continued.

Steps have likewise been taken to procure from other countries such
plants as promise to become of use to the Colony ; and it is gi'atifying to
know that Nature has favored us with a soil and with a climate in which aU
treasures of the vegetation dispersed through extra-tropical countries may be
reared in perfection and abundance.

I have the honor to be.

Sir,

Your most obedient and humble Servant,

FERDINAND MUELLER,
Government Botanist.

The Honorable
The Colonial Secretary.
